🦋 As a prolific liker & lacking bookmarks, it’s hard to find past Bsky likes. I made an infinite canvas search tool for all my likes, auto-positioned by similarity, using OpenAI embeddings (can search for related keywords; none of these posts say “pet”) & with media/link filters for visual browsing

@ped.ro Would love the ability to export all my notes from the iOS app as a backup (as Markdown files). Exporting right now is one-off, & each file has to be manually named 😔

I bought a @theverge.com sub the day they launched. I’ve been so impressed by their growing boldness in coverage, of the election/gov, climate/env, the Vietnam War at 50 today; all way wider-eyed stories than most publications, expanding tech far beyond consumer product specs. Grateful for them!!

Pressed the wrong button while slicing my 3D print but making an infinite number of one of my project’s parts seems more fun than the complete project??

I just called Governor Hochul, and you should too, it only takes a minute. Masking when you’re feeling sick to prevent spreading illness is common decency, and it’s a frightening restriction of our right to self expression to police clothing.
🚨 URGENT: Governor Hochul is pushing a last-minute mask ban into the budget. Everyone needs to call her today and tell her you oppose any criminalization of masks in New York.
☎️ Call: 518-474-8390

Stopped by Shopify’s “shop local” NYC popup & realized everything on my body today went through Shopify: Rains & Baggu bags, Meller sunglasses, Phluid shirt, Outdoor Voices pants, Allbirds shoes, down to TomboyX underwear, socks. To shop outside big box & Amazon, they’re impressively inescapable

One of the few “AI” features I deeply want as a user: for museum websites to use semantic search on their images & metadata to allow for freeform exploration of their collections. Traditional search isn’t a good fit for art.
